Dinner at Tiffani’s

Things are ramping up at Rocca, where former Top Chef contestant (and new Rocca chef) Tiffani Faison has introduced a new menu.

noradeidre has almost nothing but raves. Fluke crudo with ramps purée and almond vinaigrette was “Fresh, clean, delicious.” Grilled squid and herb salad had “incredibly tender” squid, and the farro salad with roasted and raw asparagus, grapes, and arugula was a powerhouse, with an “element of rawness” that “worked very nicely in contrast.”

The new menu has a “pane crostoso” course, four types of bread with cheese or butter spreads, including formaggio crema with black olives and tomatoes (“I practically licked the plate clean”) and house-made ricotta with honey and black pepper.
